DIORAMATIZED #01 is the first of a series of experimental design explorations that we are setting up in the framework of the practice-based research project MULTIPLE voice/vision. I coined the word DIORAMATIZED because on the one hand it refers to the 19th century phenomenon of dioramas, and on the other hand it carries (some of) the meaning of the word ‘dramatized’. And this second meaning is also fundamental in DIORAMATIZED #01 as it transposes the 19th century concept of a diorama to a contemporary interactive media formula in a miniature dramatized setting. The technical as well as the aesthetic approach…

Testrecordings MULTIPLE voice/vision
Last week testrecordings for MULTIPLE voice/vision were on the agenda. We had the concert hall of AMUZ – a deconsecrated church in Antwerp, with superb acoustics – for 3 days. Not so much when you consider that we would need 1 full day to set up, and 1 other day to get the concert hall back to its original state. So we had just one day for the actual test recordings, which consisted of two parts: – one movement from a string quintet of Boccherini – one duet violoncello – basso continuo We planned the testrecordings just before an actual…
motion tracking in processing
I’m currently building a playful Processing application for the pre-opening of the new Media & Design Academy building at C-Mine. The pre-opening is scheduled for the weekend of april 25-26 2009. So I have quite some time left to finetune the draft version I have now. Concept = The mirrored video image of people passing in a specific frame is projected lifesize. When you stand still in the frame, you just have the projection of your mirror image. Movement will reveal an extra layer. Using motion detection, particles of ribbons that follow the movement in the frame are superimposed upon…
